Hi Sudha

Create a public function in the form that returns the path and filename of
the image.
Public Function CurrentPicture() As String
CurrentPicture = MyImageControl.Picture
End Function

Create a blank report which calls the above function when it opens
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Picture = Forms!frmMain.CurrentPicture
End Sub

Then create a button with the following code to open the report
Private Sub btnPrintImage_Click()
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptImagePrint", acViewPreview
End Sub
If you want to print without preview change acViewPreview to acViewNormal.
